Academy Gumiho is a Magical Genius Episode 296

Baal (1)

“You were quick.”

A voice that sounded like it belonged to a woman in the cave spread.

“If I had done something wrong, it would have been taken away.”

“Could it be that we were the ones who stole it?”

“Well, it seems like I took the spoils from that kid.”

The voice was female, but the body was that of a strong male.

A mine with red hair and black pupils.

He was having a conversation with the human being who faced him.

“But what can we do? The world revolves around the strong.”

“Baek Seung-woo. He is certainly a strong man.”

“Even so, he is only a lower-ranking duke than a higher-ranking marquis. He is weaker than me.”

“How many beings are stronger than you, Belial?”

The red-haired mine’s name was “Belial”.

He was a baron, more noble than any other nobleman.

Thanks to that, he was the first of the noble-level minions who were sealed away like corpses on a deserted island to escape.

Unlike the dukes and marquises, he is a baron and is relatively less subject to interference from the system.

He, “Belial” didn’t like that.

“Don’t call me “Belial” anymore.”

Belial liked the fact that he could wake up from the seal earlier than others, but when he learned that it was because of his low rank, he became jealous of those with higher ranks.

“then?”

“Agares. That is my new name.”

So he killed the duke.

The Duke, “Agares”. He ruled the East and was an old man with the greatest wisdom among the Mines.

wisdom.

That was the power that “Agares” possessed.

Knowledge is something that Belial has accumulated in his head, but knowledge and wisdom are different. Although they may seem similar at first glance, knowledge is a concept that can be accumulated by investing time, while wisdom is not.

Wisdom is enlightenment.

But there is knowledge without wisdom.

Just as wisdom without knowledge is impossible.

Wisdom is a broader concept than knowledge.

Moreover, wisdom is a subjective ability that develops by adding what an individual has experienced to the knowledge accumulated so far.

Everyone in the world can equally accumulate knowledge.

However, the wisdom that can be gained based on that knowledge is different for each person and extremely limited. Even Belial, despite having accumulated a lot of knowledge, never considered himself wise.

A wiser man than he.

That’s because “Agares” was his colleague.

Belial, jealous of his wisdom, killed him and took away his name and power.

From now on, he was to be called “Agares” and not “Belial”.

but.

“No. You are Belial.”

“The 68th place will be replaced by another mine in the future. Until then, the name of “Belial” will remain vacant. Why do you call me “Belial”?”

“Well, you’re greedy.”

The greedy “Belial”.

Simon, who personally rescued him from the deserted island, now knows him well.

A religious group that follows Mine, the Demonic Cult.

As a fanatic and follower of the group, Simon had known about him for a long time, but after spending time with Belial, he came to understand his nature.

What he thinks.

Simon guessed without difficulty.

“You thought you were sharp just now?”

“……What is the basis?”

“Are you nervous that I found out your secret so easily, even though no one else noticed? Of course, you didn’t show it, but the habits and mannerisms you’ve shown me so far speak for themselves.”

“……Are my actions that obvious?”

That’s right on the mark.

Simon properly struck down Agares, or rather Belial.

As he said, “Belial” was still “Belial.”

“You, human. Do you by any chance know anything about our physiology?”

“The physiology of nobles?”

I know it well.

The person who had been supporting the nobles up until now was Simon.

“Isn’t this the ultimate law of the jungle?”

The number of nobles is fixed at 72 digits.

Even among them, the higher the rank, the more limited the number.

In order to become a noble or achieve a higher title, you must kill the mine that previously held that position.

If you succeed in killing them, you inherit the name and power along with the title determined by that hierarchy. The physiology of the nobility continues in this way.

“If the 71st rank “Dantalion” kills the 8th rank “Barbatos”, he will immediately become “Barbatos”. However, even if I kill “Asmodeus” or “Buer” and inherit their position and name, I will still be “Belial”.”

The nobles have a vague sense of self-identity.

As you grow in power and reach higher ranks, your name will change along with your authority. Since you won’t settle on one name, you will inevitably lack a sense of identity for yourself.

But “Belial” is Belial.

There is no such thing as his identity changing.

“I expected it, but it’s the original.”

Simon said as if he had expected it.

There was a lot implied in those words.

“Somehow, it seems like it required more sacrifices than I had calculated when I woke it up. That’s why the process of regaining its original powers was longer and more difficult than others.”

“……Aren’t you surprised?”

“Why am I surprised?”

“Didn’t you know that I was the original?”

Belial glanced at Simon suspiciously.

“But why are you doing that?”

“You said it clearly. The cult you belong to is a religious group that aims to awaken us.”

“Yes.”

“The Demonic Cult has inherited all the legacies we have left behind. This cave contains all of our history and knowledge.”

… … Suspicious guy.

Belial was wary of Simon.

Although they are a rare and useful species among humans.

There are more than one or two suspicious corners.

It seemed like there were hundreds of snakes living inside him.

He was that deep and cunning.

He was a fairly loyal person, though.

Baal, who was given the chance to fully revive by having the magic stone injected into his body and recovered to recharge his energy to 100%, was given the chance to fully revive.

It was not a situation where anything mattered for the sake of his mood.

Belial paused for a moment, his doubts fading away.

I followed Simon deeper into the cave.

Two days have passed since the incident caused by Baek Seok-ho.

From that day on, the aftermath continued.

It was not yet time to blame anyone, avoid responsibility, cut off the tail, or make a scapegoat. The media was reporting on the dead bodies being recovered and the survivors being rescued.

Little by little, discussions began to take place over who should be held responsible.

No one has been on the chopping block yet.

Now was not the time to be angry, but to mourn.

Scratch scratch.

As I was watching politicians on TV paying their respects to the fallen victims, Hyuna approached me. She was holding a ladle with soup in her hand.

“……What are you doing with the ladle?”

“You, come quickly and eat. The kids are waiting.”

“Already? Didn’t you just start preparing?”

“No, come quickly. Let’s eat.”

Ring ring.

I turned off the TV with the remote control and followed her to the table.

There were already children sitting in the seats.

“Dad, why are you so late!”

“Abba!”

“……Until just a minute ago, there was nothing on the table.”

“You should have helped us for that one minute!”

“One minute!”

“……Okay, I’ll definitely help you next time. Let’s eat first.”

Children who took out eating utensils such as spoons.

I forgot that I usually cook and prepare meals. When I see the two of them joining forces to attack me, a smile naturally forms on my face.

What was served on the table was typical Korean food.

There were a number of dishes that were a bit salty or didn’t bring out the flavor of the vegetables properly, but considering that these were Baekhyun Ah’s creations, the taste was understandable.

That guy isn’t good at cooking.

‘But since I usually just make simple breakfasts with soup or bread, my cooking skills never really improved.’

Since it was a dish made by Baekhyun, the taste was a little strange, but that was okay. What’s more, the kids liked her cooking.

When you put food that is easy to eat like baby food on the baby’s bowl and feed him/her one bite at a time, his/her eyes grow wide.

Up until now, she had been eating mostly powdered milk, so she seemed to be greatly impressed by the stimulating taste. Since she did not have many opportunities to eat such a neatly arranged meal, it seemed difficult for her to distinguish between what was tasty and what was not tasty.

Thanks to that, everyone seemed satisfied.

Afterwards we all took a bath together and enjoyed another meal.

Night has come before we knew it.

8pm.

It’s still too early to go to sleep.

Especially research and study. For me, who spent my days up all night thirsting for knowledge, it was not much different from morning.

It was too early to go to sleep though.

“Dad… I want to sleep.”

“Let me sleep?”

“……huh.”

Elizabeth, who had changed into her pajamas, grabbed my sleeve.

The first day I came to this house.

There was no girl anywhere who couldn’t hide her anxiety when looking at me.

In the place of the anxious girl, only the daughter who asked her father to read her a storybook remained. Of course, Elizabeth was already in middle school at the age of asking him to read her a storybook.

If you ask me to read it, I have to read it.

What can I do?

So I finished reading a whole fairy tale book.

But the eyes of the guy who asked me to put him to sleep were shining brightly.

The baby next to her was looking at the next storybook with bright eyes, unable to say anything about what she was hearing so enjoyably.

Then, Baekhyun-ah, who couldn’t stand to watch anymore, turned off the fluorescent lights and started forcing the kids to sleep.

I watched the whole scene from my bed, and as soon as the three people’s breathing became stable, I went straight out into the garden.

‘It was a truly fascinating day.’

It was a really strange feeling.

A harmonious family. The house was filled with laughter, so much so that it was hard to believe that it was an intentionally created family.

‘When I prepare meals, the kids love it, and no one complains about the side dishes. Not even the baby.’

So many thoughts crossed my mind.

Today was a day that gave me a lot of inspiration even though it wasn’t anything special.

I wanted to put these inspirations into my research right away.

I was sitting on a chair placed in the garden, looking up at the moon.

Knock knock.

When I heard something knocking on the window of my house, I immediately turned my head towards it. The glass window in front of the first floor garden.

There was a baby tapping the glass with his fern-like hands.

“How did you……?”

How did the baby get out of the crib?

When did you get to the window again?

For a moment, a mountain of questions piled up, but when I saw the baby’s eyes asking me to open the window, those thoughts disappeared like a mirage.

“Okay, I got it. I’ll open it for you.”

“Bwa!”

Is this a thank you for opening it?

The baby grabbed my leg with his hand.

No, this means I want a hug.

I had no choice but to hold the baby in my arms and sit on a bench in the garden, looking straight into the baby’s eyes.

Vertical pupil.

Reptiles. Especially the fierce and fierce eyes that resembled dragons proved that the baby was not a human child.

And yet, this baby was my daughter.

I decided to accept her as my adopted daughter.

I swore to take care of it so that it would never become a disaster.

“……I’ve been thinking a lot about your name up until now.”

Unlike Elizabeth, who had a name given to her by her previous guardians when they first met, the baby had no name.

So, as the guardian, I had to build it.

The decision to name it and call it.

I’ve finally made up my mind.

I called her name under the bright moon.

“Baek-ah.”

It was a name that was chosen after much thought.

Baek-ah (白我). Baek (白) is taken from my surname, ‘ah’ means baby, and ‘I’ (我) means to live an independent life.

All together, 100.

“Baby, that’s your name.”

A baby so small and light.

He sat on the chair holding Baek-ah in his arms and looked up at the moon in silence. He grabbed my face and laughed. It seems he likes the name.

That sight is so lovely.

I carefully laid Baek-ah down in her crib to prevent her from catching a cold.
